Your Tuesday Village Update #55
        
April 13, 2021         
 

Dear Villagers,

The pandemic has impacted all of us in negative ways but has been most brutal to those with limited means. The Village is thankful for organizations such as Pennies for Poverty. You can learn more about this group from their website, on which they have published an updated guide for those who are struggling with food issues: Free Groceries and Meals in Greater Newburyport - March 2021.
 

Reminders:
 1) Click here to verify your important Village information. It takes a minute - and we never share your information.

2) To enter April's Recipe Raffle for a $25 Market Basket card, send your recipe to Pauline Derby by April 30.

A Little Humor 
My husband asked me why I spoke so softly in the house.


I said I was afraid Mark Zuckerberg was listening.


He laughed.
I laughed.
Alexa laughed.
Siri laughed.
